It's Not Food, It's Violence

You may have seen or heard about the "It’s Not Food, It’s Violence" campaign. But what is it really about? Here are a few key points summarizing the campaign. For more detailed information of the Whole Foods campaign, check out "Why Target Whole Foods?"

The Target: A Violent Company with a Fraudulent Message

Whole Foods has made billions marketing itself as a progressive company. But those billions were built on the tortured screams of animals who wanted to live. Undercover investigations have shown their humane image to be a bald faced lie, and while they were challenged and lost to consumer fraud lawsuits, Whole Foods's advertising continues to influence the public's view of animals like no other. Someone has to stop them.

Our Strongest Weapon: Honesty

Many in the animal rights movement say we are too weak to be honest. But honesty is our strongest weapon. Instead of focusing on single-issue forms of “animal cruelty”, or asking for more “humane” methods of slaughter, we speak strongly and honestly to end the entire system of animal exploitation. Rather than ignoring it, we bring the issue of violent discrimination against nonhuman beings - speciesism - onto the table with public protest.

It's Worldwide

In just one year, DxE has sparked a wildfire of activism around the world, including participation from over 71 cities in 17 different countries. It is only through a strong and diverse movement will we achieve animal liberation across the globe.

IT NEEDS YOU
